Sweden's most decorated and adored pastry chef and baker duo, Frida Bäcke and Bedros Kabranian, are finally dropping a book together! Since jointly opening Socker Sucker in Stockholm in the autumn of 2022, the accolades have been piling up. Industry peers have voted Socker Sucker Pastry Chefs' Bakery of the Year every year since, while Frida Bäcke has continued her streak as Pastry Chefs' Pastry Chef, a title she'd already claimed before that.
Socker Sucker has made a name for itself by keeping an absurdly high standard on every single bake and setting a new frontline for Swedish baking and pastry craft. The duo's latest outside gig was handling dessert and bread for the 2024 Nobel Banquet.
This recipe book is bursting with pastries and buns, packing around fifty recipes with the best of what the bakery has to offer. Everything from buns, bread and pastries to the razor-sharp precision and perfection that Socker stands for is presented in a clear and thoroughly appetising way.
The book covers seasonal specialities all year round: semlor, Easter treats, midsummer cake, apple pie and the obligatory Christmas bakes like saffron buns and rye malt bread. Naturally, classics like croissants, cinnamon buns, Mille Feuille and Tarte Tatin are covered too, all done the Socker Sucker way (which is to say, better).
This might just be the most anticipated Swedish book of the 21st century, in any category!
